INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES


Investment Advisory Services: To assist in developing investment policy, portfolio design, which include client goals and objectives taking into consideration the return/risk spectrum. This is normally a one-time service, which could be followed up by subsequent one-time advice regarding the performance and adjustment of investments.

Portfolio Management Services: In addition to the initial service listed under Investment Advisory Services, the firm monitors on a continual basis the portfolio of a client. The service is performed on a non-discretionary basis, where the firm interacts with the client to advise him/her about his portfolio and recommends adjustments to it, in which the client has, the sole authority to implement. The firm does not manage accounts on a discretionary basis.

Comprehensive Financial Planning: Involving the preparation of a plan to address the achievement of specific personal and financial goals, given the clients' current /expected resources and current/expected expenditures against a specific timetable. The plan is considered a strategy to be used to make decisions and to act in a timely manner. Engagements include comprehensive planning for short, intermediate and long-term goals, and periodic assessment of these, as well as comprehensive assessments for matters requiring immediate decisions. Assessments are generally followed by remedial actions, if necessary, and by additional comprehensive planning, if necessary.

Mutual Funds: While the firm tackles a broad range of investment products, it specialises in the analysis of vehicles of collective investments (mutual funds, unit trusts, SICAVs and other types of open-ended and closed-end investment vehicles). The analysis of these (both offshore vehicles and US-based ones) is continually made, and a wide range of recommendations can be swiftly made for investors with any set of goals and objectives. The firm and its associated members deal with reputable international fund management groups, such as, ABN Amro,  Alliance Capital Management (ACM), Principal Capital Management, Barings,  Fidelity, Global Asset Management (GAM), HSBC, Invesco GT, Jardine Fleming, JP Morgan Fleming, Lloyds TSB, Merrill Lynch (Mercury), Schroders, Templeton, Vanguard, just to name a few.

Mutual funds may also be accessed through the offshore life subsidiaries of leading international insurance companies. Though costing more than the typical direct investment into a mutual fund, these have the added advantage (if needed) in providing certain tax breaks for certain nationalities. In addition, some offshore jurisdictions also provide investor protection compensation schemes for investments under a life insurance company. They also have the advantage of allowing the investor to select funds from a wide range of fund management groups all grouped under one single account allowing free switches from one fund into another. Firms dealt with include: Generali, Friends Provident, Royal Skandia, Scottish Life, and Scottish Widows.

Valuation of Companies: This determines the worth of a going concern and usually performed for one of these purposes: 1) a private company wanting to go public; 2) a private company wanting to introduce new shareholders; 3) shareholders in a company wanting to sell out; 4) two or more firms wanting to merge, or exchange share ownership (pooling of interest).
